Re: Clothes pegs

for wee items (like knickers) double the paracord and twist - secure like a "normal" washing line but keep twisted so that wee loops are formed. Now smalls and cloths / tea towels etc can be tucked into the loops to secure on the line - no pegs, no bother ;)

Re: One good reason to prep

I think it is "technically" off topic - but the problem is that this is the most likely scenario to be prepping for right now if you're currently employed as there is a significant risk that status will change. However (to get back on thread!)... I am more inclined to the total economic me...

Re: Greenhouse as Woodstore?

Good idea but you will need to keep the door open to allow air circulation otherwise it will be very humid and condensation will form and the wood will stay damp. Therefor it acts as a structure to keep the rain off. I'll second that - I think the pallet base would be good 2 high if poss to offer f...

I also vote to "chuck em in" - keep a few in pots / bins / compost bags as well and that way you can sling them in the greenhouse later in the year when the toms / whatever else are over and they can keep going a wee bit longer after their late start.

I also got some candles for last stop emergency and a couple of foil blankets...
